Context
- These were PSU awards (each PSU is a contingent right to one share upon meeting performance goals). This is a settlement of earned PSUs, not an open-market investment decision by the insider. The sale shown (29,404.735 shares) is a routine tax‑withholding action rather than a discretionary market sale. The remaining shares are subject to transfer restrictions for the specified two-year holding period.
